LOVE YOU LIKE A LOVE SONG........BOUNCING BACK

This song from Selena Gomez was kinda fading but now it is coming back. The official mix is a bit
Popish for me.............just another tune similar to "Moves Like Jagger" where a Dance(ier) remix
is needed. The labels probably don't wanna go there becuase a Dance mix might be better than their
lukewarm original mix.

A more danceable bootleg Gomez remix by DJ Reidiculous has now gotten almost 500,000 plays on
Youtube. When are the labels going to wake up? His mix can also be downloaded for free at his
website. This electro-house mix takes her song to new heights.

I did play a Selena Gomez track on my show. It was fine for commercial pop appeal but I was shocked at one version that was done by house music legend Ralphi Rosario.

But I don't see club DJ's spinning her

I would just say don't rush to judgement. Listen to the YouTube link, it's actually quite
danceable.

I agree. It is danceable. No doubts on that. It's something I see working on radio because of the popularity of Selena Gomez, but I still think club DJ's (definitely not here in NYC) may still be apprehensive because she still has the "Disney" stigma attached, even though she's dating Justin Bieber.
 
Gomez is just there for me, as I know little of her past. But, I would not hold someone's past or
history against them. If Donald Trump came out with a good Dance record I would not trash it
just because of his history.

A lot of the quasi-dance Hip-Hoppers have terrible pasts and presents (much worse than Selena),
yet the club DJs support them. Kind of a double standard I.M.O. They can support arrests and jail
time but being a part of Disney........why that's just down right shameful Charlotte.
 
F.Y.I.
I don't think I'd call my musical tastes a double standard, but more my personal discretion.
You got yours. I got mine.
 
So you don't recall trashing certain "Dance" artists and questioning their credibilty just because of their affiliation with Pop or Urban music? I remembering you going off with your rants and acting like you had the best taste of anybody here. Yet you don't have an issue with a Disney artist being branded as Dance as well? I mean, it's fine with me, it only equals a younger generation being exposed to something that makes my job easier. But that doesn't exactly back up your previous argument.
 
Okay,I have to fess up. When I took a sabbatical from the online world last week and coincidentally when this thread went back and forth,I heard this song everywhere I went and it's too catchy to ignore. Yeah,it's a Selena Gomez song but it's great as a pop house track. Maybe if she got dirty like Christina and Britney then she can shed her Disney image and gain massive airplay on radio.I was meaning to post on it earlier but when you have two members sparring back and forth, it's best to let things be.
 
In my opinion there is no such thing as a "pure dance" fan. Why? Simply,because there is no such thing as pure dance music. I can see someone being a classist but a purist? There's elements of all edm/dance sounds in every subgenre of electronica music.
 
Now going back to the original post, the radio version is very un-dance but the souped up
version here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK3LE1ObPnk which seems to be more of
a sped-up mix is quite danceable (now with 517,000+ views).

So I assume Billboard is charting the un-dance version, unless it's been remixed from the
pop original. The un-dance version would actually fit in well at Billboard, since most of their
tracks on their "Dance" chart are un-dance anyway (covered in another thread).
